I really like what i see. Since i've been working on a similar project i would like to add the stuff i already have to the project. Actually those are the parts needed for version 0.2 of the plugin.
In addition i'm currently thinking about establishing a subversion server to store epic source-code. One thing i would spend to the community is a plugin for the cach�-studio (as long we still need it ;-)) that supports the structured import and export of each and every single element (.MAC,.INT,.INC,BAS,.CLS,.CSP,...) into a single file an thus enables a clean source-management even for cach�. I will post details on that later today. Best regards and congratulations to Ram�n.
